Venenum attemperatum Venenum attemperatum education is. An unnoticed permeation into the marrow and sinew; the flex and bone of arrogance grow to the muscle of bitterness. In this realm of certain space Shakespeare is just a vulgar hack not worthy of holding Marlow’s hat. All this I know because it’s true. Oh, he ripped of Francis Bacon too Those renaissance men, so renowned For astronomic theory others found. Copernicus read Aristotle, who referred in text, to Aristarchus. Copernicus deferred to his Solar madness. Newton’s works on light are just the same written by Bacon but signed with his name. His Universal Science is all but forgot Eroded by “genius” which stole from his pot, taken piecemeal to fill out their lack. Religion and faith are all interwoven Tenets of one are found in the rest Some say “borrowed”, others stolen All discard the worst and keep the best. One acknowledges Muslim science. Venenum attemperatum education is. Swelling in reservoirs under the skin Breaking out to offer intemperate opinion And unwanted officious diatribe Because you know. None utters that you are not what you know But that which you conclude Not just recitation by rote But the reinvention of the wheel Spoke by spoke. My favourite slow acting poison. ***I suck at Latin, but I think I have it right if not someone tell me!*** "And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea, |

Venenum-Latin poison, medicine...a drug An English word- Attemperation The act of attempering or regulating. (n.). "Venenum attemperatum education is." Fits the poem, as education is the regulating of thought and thought processes, a sort of mind drug.... Down through the layers of this, I find myself nodding, as I see all genious is built on genious that came before... And it does mention a favorite genious of mine, both in letters and philosopy Ahhhh! William Blake.... Enjoyed the poem, Triska -----------------ice ><> "Triskaidekaphobia" I bet you never say "TGIF", especially when it falls on the thirteenth....interesting nic.....  |

Hello Tris! Seems like you did a right fair job... ~*~ All discard the worst and keep the best. ... Venenum attemperatum education is. Swelling in reservoirs under the skin Breaking out to offer intemperate opinion And unwanted officious diatribe ... ~*~ Had to smile, yep, I did...possibly quite like Ice... because: if not for someone else coming and laying a seed in a field of green... if not for that, and for enjoying the beauty that those very seeds left behind, how would we know that we could not gather them, mix them, possibly receive hybrids with the help of birds, and bees...and form yet another elysium field...from which might spring a new thought...on borrowed seed... Yes...indeed...as might be [as was] said, there is nothing new under the sun... really? |
